Aubrey Reeves, “Two Knots, One Not”

“After spending a summer crewing a whale watching schooner in the Bay of Fundy, I became fascinated by the paradoxical simple beauty and complexity of knots. This video shows three slightly different knots being tied, each with very different outcomes.”—Aubrey Reeves.

Aubrey Reeves is originally from New Brunswick, but studied visual art at University of Toronto and received an MA in Curatorial Studies at Bard College in New York. She is Programming Director at Trinity Square Video, an artist-run media arts centre in Toronto. She works in video, photography, and drawing, and also performs with the collective Bantam AAA Art Team.

Micheline Durocher, “Syncope”

“Syncope” explores the way one can speak through the body when symbolic language fails. The body of the aphasic female reader becomes a way of coming into contact with what is beyond the self, what the self fails to grasp.

Micheline Durocher is a visual artist living in Montreal, Canada. A mainstay of her art has been the exploitation of photo-based media and, more recently, video. Her photographic work has been shown nationally in individual and group exhibitions at Vu (Quebec), Gallery 44 (Toronto), WARC (Toronto), Expression (Saint-Hyacinthe), Ace Art (Winnipeg), and AKA (Saskatoon). She earned an MFA degree from Concordia University. She currently teaches in the Fine Arts department of Bishop’s University.
